Still mystified? You’ll find the answer here…

The shadow-cast images of denizens from Sonoma’s 19th century days line the exterior walls at the Barracks at the Sonoma State Historic Park’s Casa Grande. Tucked just off the Sonoma Plaza, the historic park includes Barracks General Mariano Vallejo’s two-story adobe, the Casa Grande, which was built in 1836. It was the military headquarters when this part of California was actually owned by Mexico. The short-lived Bear Flag Revolt took place right here in 1846, when the famous flag was flown in Sonoma Plaza — and the revolt lasted for all of a month.

The mural, painted by Northern California artist Jim Bowers, traces the site’s history from California Indians to modern-day park rangers.
